December 1969, Thelonious Monk arrives in Paris. Before his evening concert, he recorded a program for French television. The rushes that have been preserved show us a Thelonious Monk who is rare, close, and in the grip of the violent factory of stereotypes from which he tries to escape. The film becomes the crossing of this great artist, who would like to exist only for his music. And the portrait in hollow of a media machine as ridiculous as revolting.

Ty Burr Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack) Gomis鈥� film features long, uninterrupted passages of Monk playing the studio鈥檚 grand piano, and they are the meat and marvel of the film... Rated: 3/4 •  Apr 28, 2023 Full Review Peter Rainer FilmWeek (LAist) A film that ought to appeal to fans of Thelonious Monk -- but even if you don't know him, you should watch it anyway because everyone should be a fan of Thelonious Monk.

Vincent E One of the greats in jazz. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/01/23 Full Review Richard B A weird and exhilarating combination of an interview with outtakes with an awkward, clueless French interviewer, and some of the most astounding, satisfying piano playing ever captured on film. The camera is tight on Monk as he tries to react or not react to the nonsense surrounding him. Some people might not think this is what a documentary should be, but other people don't care, myself included, Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/23/23 Full Review
